Kia Cerato Body, Lighting & Facelift Parts
Cerato, Forte and regional K3 badges do not establish a common front bumper or lamp.
Identify body and front-end design together
Record the body generation, original market and facelift, with clear views of the panel junctions. Two-door Koup and five-door hatchback orders must retain their own body identification.
Match lamps by function and connection
Halogen and LED assemblies can differ in modules, plugs and brackets even when the outer lens looks similar. Confirm LH/RH and the correct beam market, and identify fog lamps against the actual bumper aperture. Specify integrated daytime-light contents with the lamp rather than assuming a separate universal unit.
For a door repair, record Side Mirror functions and Window Regulator motor requirements separately even when the door position matches.
Select door hardware by the actual door
Koup glass and regulator travel must not be inferred from a four-door sedan. Mirrors and latches also need the installed folding, heating, locking and warning features. Include the door position and connector views, then agree whether motors, carriers and control modules are supplied.
Separate rear closures and protect panels
A sedan trunk lid, Koup trunk lid and hatchback rear door need their own opening and latch records. Hatchback gas springs are not powered SUV liftgate drives. State glass, lighting and lock contents separately, and support panel edges and mounting tabs without bending parts to reduce carton size.
